Get ready to move 'up and down' and shout 'boom boom boom boom' as Vengaboys have been confirmed for a massive outdoor pop festival next year.

Kubix Festival has been a massive event for Sunderland in the past few years with the likes of Ronan Keating, The Boomtown Rats, B*Witched, Cast, Five and the Outhere Brothers entertaining over the course of two days at Herrington Park opposite Penshaw Monument.

This year's festival only happened in July but acts have already been announced for next year. In keeping with the trend of the first two events, opening night on Friday, July 10, will be a retro pop affair and the first act to join the bill for the occasion are Vengaboys.
